Drove out here with my wife on a Saturday afternoon, the only time itís open. Good gravy, am I glad I found that out before hitting town and that our timing worked out. Itís basically rural, with the brewery on a hill at the end of a gravel road off Fitzhugh Rd. The brewery has a tasting room and the main operation with a cellar underneath. There are bathrooms in an Airstream trailer down the drive and a big pavilion with picnic tables. Many other tables are closer to the tasting room under trees. Another pavilion has a pizza oven and they sell bottles (got around a stupid state law!) but Iím an idiot and let two bottles I wanted sell out - learn from me, buy any bottles you want first. They give you a glass when you arrive for $10. It includes a tasting menu with the dayís offerings in the tasting room and at the tent outside where they pour from bottles. Nice glass, too! 10 options; 5 JK taps, 1 guest, and 4 bottle pours. You get 1 of each. Great deal. Staff was super friendly and cool. Answered all my annoying beer geek questions. We didnít do the tour, of which there are three during the day. We just relaxed and drank our samples. The beer is world-class. The place canít be any more relaxed, friendly, and fun. Maybe my favorite beer place to date.

Great beer destination in the middle of the Texas Woodlands. The beer selection of their own plus trying others is ridiculous. The people and service are outstanding. The amount of beer to purchase and take away is awesome and handled separately making easier on everyone. A must on every beer nerds list. Will be back again in the near future.

Jester King could possibly be the second most beautfiful and atmospherically astouding brewery Iíve ever visited, behind only Stoneís ridiculously extravagant World Bistro. Jester King is on a sprawling, hilly farmstead with outside seating and sporadic wooden buildings. Iím not sure how affiliated they are with the restaurant on grounds, but there is a place to get some food just a few yards away. The beer is nothing but top notch. Theyíve carved out a niche for themselves by making beers that are undeniably unique, reflect a personality and delicious as well. Prices are really good for this kind of beer, especially by the standards Iím used to. It seemed to be in line with other spots in Austin. Sitting outside during sunset sipping on a glass of snorkel by a roaring fire could be the top highlight from my stay in Texas.

Came here for dinner & drinks on a nice Memorial Day weekend night while visiting friends in Austin. I think this is the best ambiance of a brewery that I have ever been to. Itís a very laid back, casual vibe with picnic tables and a pizza restaurant that offers fantastic food. Highly recommend that anyone who visits Austin to go to this place, you will not regret it. Only item - itís all outside, so if itís pouring rain, may not be the best option to go here.

Probbably one of the coolest breweries I have ever been two. Beautiful farm setting equipped with meadows, a farmhouse pizza joint, and world class beer. Not to mention you can bottle share and play bags all day. You could literally spend entire weekends at this place, it is that awesome. No where else can I drink Atrial and Nocturn by the pint, turn to a buddy and grab a pour of BA Hunahpu or Cantillon. One of the best beer experiences I have ever had. Do not go to Austin and not make it to Jester King.

Great brewery. They have lots of open space that is reminiscent of a farm. Ten dollars gets you a glass, three pints of beer and a tour of their little brewery. Only real problem is that during the summer everybody wants to crowd into the tiny bar area. I love Jester King though, probably my favorite Texas brewery.

Only marking JK down by 2 points because they were not offering growlers yet when I visited, but I am told the pizza joint on site will be selling them starting January 2013 - along with the bottle list they currently offer. The brewery & tasting room are only open to the public on Saturdays between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm - check their website for details. Gorgeous old stone barn brewery/tap room had some of the mainstay brews on draft, and a small tent outdoors poured rare smaller tasters. Country band played most of the afternoon. So glad I got to visit this place. A bit of the French/Belgian countryside in the heart of Texas.

This is a great place to go on a Saturday afternoon in Texas Hill Country. Located on several acres in Austin it screams farmhouse ale brewing and this brewery lives up to that expectation. Great beer, great location, great music, and fun Austin people.
